Bill > SJR0021

This resolution is an application by the Indiana General Assembly to the U.S. Congress for an Article V Convention to propose constitutional amendments specifically limiting the number of terms that members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate can serve. The resolution calls for a limited convention focused solely on term limits for Congress, and stipulates that this application will be aggregated with similar applications from other states to help reach the two-thirds state threshold required to trigger the convention. The resolution emphasizes that this is a continuing application until at least two-thirds of state legislatures have made similar applications, and instructs that certified copies of the resolution be sent to congressional leaders, state legislative presiding officers, and Indiana's congressional delegation. By inviting other state legislatures to join this call, the resolution seeks to advance the goal of implementing congressional term limits through the constitutional amendment process outlined in Article V, which allows states to initiate a convention for proposing amendments without going through Congress directly.
